Carlos Sainz has revealed his surprise at taking his first ever pole at the British Grand Prix after saying he felt his lap was ‘nothing special’. A chaotic qualifying run saw the Ferrari man bag the special honour of leading the field on a rain-drenched Silverstone, beating Red Bull’s Max Verstappen by 0.072sec to start from the front. However, speaking after qualifying Sainz said he thought his winning lap being the best of the day was surprising as he wasn’t hugely impressed with it himself.
